Do you live with diabetes and can no longer work? You may qualify for monthly Disability (SSDI) payments

For many Latinos in the United States, living with diabetes is a part of daily life. However, when this condition begins to cause serious complications—such as vision loss, kidney problems, or painful neuropathy—working becomes nearly impossible. If this is your situation, it’s important to know: you may be entitled to receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. If you qualify, you would receive monthly Disability (SSDI) payments.

Does diabetes qualify as a disability?

By itself, diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2) does not always qualify as a disability under Social Security rules. However, when the disease causes serious and long-lasting complications, you can be eligible for monthly Disability (SSDI) payments. The attorneys at Casa de Justicia will help with your first application or your appeal if you’ve been denied. Call us at 1 800 840 4040, and in just ten minutes we can tell you if you qualify.

Complications that may help you qualify

If you live with one or more of the following conditions and can no longer work regularly, you may be entitled to receive monthly Disability (SSDI) payments:

Diabetic neuropathy: intense pain, weakness, or loss of sensation in the legs or arms.

Diabetic retinopathy or vision loss: difficulty seeing even with glasses.

Nephropathy (kidney damage): especially if you require dialysis.

Amputations: caused by circulation problems or severe infections.

Frequent episodes of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia: that affect your mental state or require hospitalization.

Social Security will evaluate your case based on how much these complications prevent you from working and performing basic daily activities. Keep in mind that these monthly Disability (SSDI) payments are ONLY for people who:

Are under 65 years old and have not filed for Social Security retirement.

Have worked legally and paid taxes for ten years.

Are under a doctor’s care.

Have not been able to work due to their disability and do not expect to return to work for at least the next 12 months.

What documents do you need?

Detailed medical records, including doctor’s notes, lab results, and treatments received.

Proof that you cannot work for at least 12 months due to your medical condition.

Work history showing that you’ve contributed to Social Security through taxes.

Tips for Latinos with diabetes who can’t work

Don’t give up if you’re denied the first time. Many cases are approved on appeal.

Talk to your doctor. Ask them to write a letter explaining how your diabetes prevents you from working.
